Full Steam ahead

Steam Machines will only be able to play Linux games natively so you'll need to be able to stream your other games from a PC in order to play them on Valve's living room box.

Going on what we've seen so far, it looks like we'll be able to alter the bandwidth and framerate of a stream but there are still plenty of questions about how things like Family Sharing will work with all of this.

This all comes just as the PS4 is about to touch down with Vita remote play - and of course some time after the Wii U brought remote playing of its own, though not quite on the same scale.
